Aircraft & Mass Transit Seating
Testing for Safety of Aircraft & Mass Transit Seating
Calspan’s state of the art Sled Test Facility features two ServoSleds, the most capable sleds in the industry.
Having access to this latest Sled Technology allows manufacturers of mass transit seating (aircraft, railcar, bus) to test in an efficient & effective manner to specific crash pulse requirements. The ability to control the crash pulse through servo controlled braking system allows Calspan to deliver high-accuracy & highly repeatable test results to its customers.
For Aircraft Seating, we are capable of running testing to any of the following standards:
- 14 CFR 23.562 (part 23): Normal Category Airplanes
- 14 CFR 25.562 (part 25): Transport Category Airplanes
- 14 CFR 27.562 (part 27): Normal Category Rotorcraft
- 14 CFR 29.562 (part 29): Transport Category Rotorcraft
